The Windows


So sorry I have been MIA the last couple of days. Thanks to more hughes net suckage and subbing at the High School, I have been unable to post as usual.
I got home from subbing today and got a few quick shots of Lilia so that I would have something to post. I will get caught up with you all tonight. I am kind of excited because I get to see a couple days posts from everyone all at one time. :)

As a Mum this photo blew me away, as a photographer I just don't know because I am WAY too close to it to be subjective in any way shape or form. Please CC me. Other than a slight eye pop and the BW conversion this shot is SOOC.
45mm, f/5.6, SS 1/20, ISO 400

I think it's a pretty awesome shot also! The expression is so telling. And it's very clear.

I miss you when you're not around. Look at you, out having a life!

I don't have mommy goggles on this one, and I love it. The focus on her eyes is so sharp, the catchlights are great, it's a great b/w conversion, her expression is wonderful, it's a nice crop, and it has a nice moody feel.

You nailed it! Look how crisp and clear those eyes are. Full of emotion. Your photo invokes emotion...that is what makes it in the top 95% of photos! I love that you can see the freckles too. It is a mix of innocence and adolescence! Wow, your photo is amazing!

I think there is something so FANTASTIC about your black and white photos. THEY ARE SO CREAMY! I love them because the eyes still stay sharp. Gorgeous. Love the crop too.
